clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters

2014-01-09T20:24:26+00:00

commit 0d651e4e65e96989f72236bf83bd4c6e55eb6ce4 upstream. Switching between reading the virtual or physical counters is problematic, as some core code wants a view of time before we're fully set up. Using a function pointer and switching the source after the first read can make time appear to go backwards, and having a check in the read function is an unfortunate block on what we want to be a fast path. Instead, this patch makes us always use the virtual counters. If we're a guest, or don't have hyp mode, we'll use the virtual timers, and as such don't care about CNTVOFF as long as it doesn't change in such a way as to make time appear to travel backwards. As the guest will use the virtual timers, a (potential) KVM host must use the physical timers (which can wake up the host even if they fire while a guest is executing), and hence a host must have CNTVOFF set to zero so as to have a consistent view of time between the physical timers and virtual counters.

ARM: convert arm/arm64 arch timer to use CLKSRC_OF init

2013-04-11T20:11:15+00:00

This converts arm and arm64 to use CLKSRC_OF DT based initialization for the arch timer. A new function arch_timer_arch_init is added to allow for arch specific setup. This has a side effect of enabling sched_clock on omap5 and exynos5. There should not be any reason not to use the arch timers for sched_clock.

arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksource

2013-01-31T15:51:49+00:00

The core functionality of the arch_timer driver is not directly tied to anything under arch/arm, and can be split out. This patch factors out the core of the arch_timer driver, so it can be shared with other architectures. A couple of functions are added so that architecture-specific code can interact with the driver without needing to touch its internals. The ARM_ARCH_TIMER config variable is moved out to drivers/clocksource/Kconfig, existing uses in arch/arm are replaced with HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER, which selects it.
